Dampener for Folgertech Kossel

thingiverse

Support and dampener for Folgertech Kossel, or any printer with 2020 aluminum beams. Six support arms are recommended, though three will suffice if distributed evenly to prevent deformation. Weight must be carefully managed during setup to avoid putting excessive stress on a single beam. The shape of the dampener features a pip that fits snugly into the groove of the 2020 beam, allowing for strong yet flexible support that effectively absorbs system vibrations. Printing noise has been significantly reduced, with only the sound of the fan cooling the heatsink remaining audible. Edit: STEP and STL files have been updated to include 3mm and 4mm holes for secure attachment. Printer Settings: Printer: Folgertech Kossel 2020 Rafts: Not necessary Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: Solid Notes: Print with solid walls or increase wall thickness to achieve solidity. Successful prints were made using PLA at 200C on blue tape, and also on a heated PEI bed at 60C.
